I’ve been running several instances nginx proxy manager for a while and using a python script I wrote to keep them synchronised but lately I’ve been having them crash more often than usual.
I’m tossing up between rebuilding it to aim for better stability or looking at an alternative, so figured I’d ask the community for alternatives
Ideally I would like the ability to have 2 or more instances synchronised but not really important as long as they can share the same certificates
Doesn’t need any other fancy features as it’s mostly for my internal services with just a few opened for outside access
*Edit
Seems swag might be worth a look, thanks all
Probably traefik or swag.
NGP is the only one with a UI that’s decent IMO.
But for CLI Caddy is very good and would be much easier to sync the config file between instances.
As a non-technical selfhoster who just does this as a hobby I swear by swag, more accessible than nginx alone and just works, I’ve literally had zero issues. Any attempts to try other proxys have had me going back lol.
Does it come with a GUI or is it config files only?
No GUI but documentation is great with lots of hand holding lol
It comes with a folder full of premade config files for various services that you just rename from .example to .conf. And off chance you use some niche service that doesn’t have one yet you can just use their general template and whip one up.
There is a dashboard addon for status/info (no configuration)
I am using Caddy and it works fine and it is very easy to be set up. Also, it supports by default self-signed tls certificate as a CA, so you can copy it and install it to other devices.
I use Caddy and its config file is really simple. Documentation is okay. Gotta navigate a bit but good enough for simple stuff.
I’ve actually been meaning to switch to Nginx because of OpenResty though.
